Nilly, in Natter:
When I studied the English 'present simple' tense, in the fifth grade or so, I could never ever imagine it would ever be used with my name. Oh, the surprises life holds.
Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I can't believe nobody COMMed this!
Trudy, in Bitches:
From a Salon article:
"In southern France, about 10,000 people demonstrated in Toulouse against the United States, chanting: 'They bomb, they exploit, they pollute, enough of this barbarity.' "
Either that's a lot more catchy in French or we've got some clue as to how the Nazis rolled into Paris so easily

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
From Bitches, and whitefonted for miniscule current season Buffy spoilers:
Steph L. :The Evil was living in my sink.
amych: I'm trying very hard not to think of it as The Evil, because I already have a cat for all my domestic Evil needs. Instead, I'm trying to think of it as being like Lisa Simpson's mold-colony science project. Any day, I'm going to be able to peer into the sink and say, "Look, I made Lutherans!"

Calli, you don't need to whitefont -- I was just referring to a broadly generic evil, rather than the First Evil.
Although now that I've clarified, the whitefont might need to stay...
How very confusing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

DavidS:
presses nose to glass, and stamps feet in the cold, waiting for Theo to come turn on the lights and unlock the door.
DXMachina:
Looks around, notices that Connie hasn't showed up yet. Unlocks door, and steps back as David's stiff, frozen body falls into the thread...
Shrugs, starts mearaing...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In Angel:
Nutty: Ok, iffn we're getting gramatical, I want to throw down with them Brits, who insist that "z" is pronouced "zed" rather than "zee."
Trudy: No joke! The British Alphabet Song has 25 letters and a redneck.

In Angel, but non-spoilery.

First it's alright, then there's alot and pretty soon society is just a bunch of monkeys in trees flinging crap at each other and mocking each other's use of the subjunctive tense.

Pretty angsty boys make everything better.
DavidS, in SPOILERS, maybe spoilery for Buffy
*Man, I hate it when they save the universe with love. Who is Love's publicist anyway? Love is way more likely to be the First Evil anyway.*

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Dori, it would be nice to know which show it's spoilery for, since some folks are spoiled for one and not the other.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
It's BtVS, but not for anything that hasn't aired in the US.
